I’m passionate about challenging themes around sex, body image, and relationships. My award-winning film, "Aubergine,” is a light-hearted short that uses magical realism to explore a sex worker’s struggles to create boundaries with her client. Aubergine screened at Cinequest Film and VR Festival in 2021 and got distribution through TVHi. My next film, currently in pre-production, is a buddy comedy in which two friends reunite when the internet demands that they deliver their dead cat to Texas. Through my work, I want to inspire people to have better sex, love their bodies, and have healthy relationships. https://www.thekatieaustin.com/katieaustin-home daily 1.0 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1629343733144-76NM1OXJNCQMG12AN7UY/2.png Home - Acting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1629343609449-4N8K0DC9JAI98WH5NFNW/1.png Home - Directing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/70ae5d2e-b117-4a3a-85a4-8361b31e03e4/6.jpg Home - Funding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/a84e858b-b2e4-41ae-87f2-67a561488a06/13.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/8dec9456-7d2e-4baa-a872-c72702c618f1/19.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/2c32c012-e6d0-49fb-a8a2-ab1ca46244b1/16.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/68829cb4-61a7-4365-b378-30d87316adc0/9.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/ed52ece5-1128-4cf1-b51f-35eb6c9c7d31/6.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/8a66c71e-9eb2-4cbc-a997-67c356676399/23.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/d3673bdd-0e9d-43a1-8a6e-fb575515eeff/24.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/6264aa39-3930-42df-9711-585a40ba7bd7/25.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/f7ac4d19-4883-4f51-9f7f-cd48a367cac2/1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/95abc888-26f7-409a-91c0-101d429a382d/33.png Home https://www.thekatieaustin.com/acting daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/a183f666-4110-44ce-a2ef-0bcc654f39b9/HEADSHOT+-+Drama+-+Katie+Austin.jpg Acting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/767592e5-3e8e-4678-81f2-15cb7b61f396/Katie+Austin+happy.jpg Acting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/f705c7d7-5096-402e-bc97-9d70d6e8be94/Screen+Shot+2021-03-09+at+8.48.26+PM.png Acting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thekatieaustin.com/instabio daily 0.75 2023-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1629244986314-O76CJKM0PE662VYKQ899/61.png Insta Bio - News Tickets, links, and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/55d407df-f3f7-4cfb-9058-ce82694f8382/Untitled+design+%287%29.png Insta Bio - Blog Let’s talk about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1629244753587-GHBPBWRYWMPMSPKEWWPN/64.png Insta Bio - Aubergine A comedy about sex work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1629244716205-AHTLPGJYHPQ9SMK2ETGA/65.png Insta Bio - Fundraising Get money for your film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/879438f1-4669-4cf7-805a-b5820b38cd8a/0O5A8215.jpg Insta Bio - Youtube Watch Me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/c98e4135-221e-41c0-b6dc-18c9c0a2966c/9.jpg Insta Bio - Newsletter Let’s keep in touch https://www.thekatieaustin.com/aubergine daily 0.75 2023-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1607839238166-ON8VVDNMPAE5RLLJNO7M/Carolina+Espinosa3028.jpg Aubergine - Carolina Espinosa - “Natalie” Carolina is a Colombian actress based out of San Francisco. After spending the last 5 years working in Tech, she has recently transitioned into a full-time actress and storyteller, performing in several films and theatre productions in the Bay. She is a proud cat mom, ramen connoisseur, and painter—specializing in SpongeBob character portraits. “What speaks to me the most about this film is the theme, being able to unapologetically advocate for yourself and your boundaries, and how relevant it is to women in particular, no matter your occupation. I studied Language, Culture and Society in school, and I love how this film demonstrates that language is power and has real life repercussions, doing so in a playful and light-hearted way.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1604625174737-8C0HWWH6G3KO0FFFABPI/20200731_125944.jpg Aubergine - Chris M. Rodriguez - Writer As a kid, Chris M. Rodriguez, filled notebook after notebook with his stories until his shelves were filled. When he finally took the plunge into writing for film, he went full-tilt - writing, fundraising, producing, and directing his first film. “I'm excited to be part of a project that presents sex workers beyond the common archetypes. So often, we get a tragic character who enters the profession out of desperation or we get a manic pixie / heart-of-gold type that exists only to help a male character on his journey. With the character of Marie, we have a woman who is not strictly defined by her work. She takes pride in her chosen profession. By presenting the story like this, we hope in some small way to dismantle taboos that will, in turn, begin to normalize and decriminalize sex work.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1605649364414-8Z0X0NL53IE3LGIFWTJS/Connie%2BJo.jpg Aubergine - Connie Jo - Producer Connie Jo Sechrist is an American actress and producer with considerable experience in film, television and theatre. She has successfully produced over 10 short films and web-series that have screened at festivals worldwide including Cannes, Toronto, HollyShorts, Cinequest and many more. As an actor Connie Jo is best known for her complex roles in drama, action and sci-fi genre films. Connie Jo is also a Co-Founder of the Coven Film Festival, devoted to spotlighting films by emerging women and non-binary filmmakers. “I started producing to help my acting career. I would act in my own projects to explore new roles and stories that I wanted to tell - but most importantly to have control over my career path. I see the same values in this project. This film is about a woman taking control of her path and defining her values in life.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d65bd257e0ce00001fba8fc/1604623180879-MU4L9VTYW5RLZUOL84ZR/self.PNG Aubergine - Sarah Simka Jaffe - Director of Photography Sarah Simka Jaffe is a Bay Area-based Director of Photography.
